Georgia General Assembly will take no action on Gov. Talmadge plans for a constitutional highway board this session. A House subcommittee studying highway department revamping will wait until the 1950 session to report, with a five member board to be appointed by the Governor and possible later legislative electors debated. A key supporter said postponing is acceptable, as the governor demands a constitutional board not votable until 1959.
